No. When antlers are in the growing stages they are covered in what is called felt, which is a skin covering over bone (which is what antlers are really made of). This felt contains blood vessels and nerves that help protect these growing antlers from being potentially damaged. Once the antlers have fully grown, the felt is shed.
